The doors to the central Stockholm mosque were covered in Nazi graffiti on Wednesday night, the first time vandalism has taken the shape of swastikas, representatives said.

The swastikas, which cover the men's entrance to the mosque on Sodermalm island in Stockholm, were discovered on Thursday morning. The mosque was vandalized a month ago, but the damage was not overtly political.

"It is the first time it's been this way, it is usually normal graffiti but this is quite special," mosque representative Mahmoud Khalif told the Aftonbladet newspaper.

Mosque administrators have reported the vandalism to the police, which are documenting the damage.
